Hey, I'm doing about the same for KOSH. Perhaps we should join efforts?
However, my approach is probably quite different from yours. I'm trying to
use variables and functions to apply different styles and contents (for
example links) to the pages. Essentially every page is supposed to build
up in a modular way. I actually started out using object!'s, but might
drop that idea due to Rebol's lack of a real classes. Except for /shell
feature in Core, a reflexive object model is what I currently miss most
from Rebol.
Let me hear if you're interested.

Web site content generation is long overdue for improvement. I working on an
application like this for a local school, where a web site can generated
from simple plain text files.

Oops, that's actually the wrong term. Reflection seems to be the concept
where one object may interrogate another to see what services it can
perform (if I understood correctly). Which is interesting, but not at all
what I meant to say. I should probably just have written a "real" class /
object model, where objects are instanced from classes, and classes
inherits from parent classes. Just like any usual object model.
A modification to a class "reflects" on all objects of that class. But
that's not what is meant by reflection. Sorry for that. ;-)

I'm interested, but have too little time right now. In about a month, I'll
probably be back to doing more on this, as it will be the end of the term
for the school, and I'll be back to doing documentation work at the school
for two weeks.

Could you explain what a "reflexive object model" is? The few references I
found doing a search didn't help me understand the term.
Thanks
